Ylvis is really talented musically, in addition to being funny. Their chord selection
here attests to that.
 
I recommend listening to the song for the exact timing of the chords, but the way they
are written here should provide some useful indication.
 
This version makes a greater use of open chords, and those who are into using such
chords should find it more suitable.
 
 
 
Capo 2
 
 
[INTRO]
 
Bm A E
 
 
[VERSE 1]
 
Bm            A              E
     Dog goes woof, cat goes meow,
                                Bm
Bird goes tweet, and mouse goes squeek.
         A              E
Cow goes moo, frog goes croak,
                           Bm
And the elephant goes toot.
                 A                  E
Ducks says quack,  And fish go blub
And the seal goes ow ow ow
Bm
     But there's one sound
A                    E
     that no one knows
What does the fox say?
 
 
[CHORUS]
 
Bm
Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringding!
Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringding!
Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringding!
 
E

Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!
Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!
Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!

[VERSE 2]
 
Bm            A            E
     Big blue eyes, pointy nose,
                         Bm
Chasing mice and digging holes,
     A            E
Tiny paws, up the hill,
                               Bm
Suddenly you're standing still,
                A             E
Your fur is red, so beautiful,
                          Bm
Like an angel in disguise,
               A                 E
But if you meet a friendly horse,
Will you communicate by
Bm            A
mo-o-o-o-orse? Mo-o-o-o-orse?
E
Mo-o-o-o-orse?
How will you speak to that
Bm            A
ho-o-o-o-orse? Ho-o-o-o-orse?
E
Ho-o-o-o-orse?
 
What does the fox say?

I can't take this song seriously XD

if you take the capo off all of these are bar/power chords. i.e. instead of Bm, A, E just play C#m, B, F# with no capo. same thing (for those of us who have no capo lol)

This tab was at 5 stars with 75 votes and now it's at 4 stars and 81 votes which means it just got a cluster of consecutive negative votes. If you think there is something off about it, it would be great if you left a comment explaining what can be changed. As far as I see it (and the 75 other voters), these chords are accurate and viewers of the tab should feel confident that what they are playing is correct.
